Wang Ding did not use the ability to identify, it can be asserted that this ivory Buddha carving is definitely an old object with years, and it should be the Qing Dynasty at the earliest, because not to mention the scarcity of modern ivory, that is, during the Republic of China, craftsmen with such craftsmanship are rare, and they can be called master-level craftsmen.

Then, based on a layer of purple light on the surface of this ivory, Wang Ding can infer that this age seems to have surpassed the Qing Dynasty, and it should be the Ming Dynasty! At least an object from the Ming Dynasty......

At this point, Wang Ding looked at it more carefully.

Suddenly, a picture made Wang Ding stunned.

"Huh? How can there be a rift?! ”

At this time, Wang Ding noticed that there was a crack about five centimeters in size under the side arm of the ivory carving, and it extended inside, as if it had been repaired, as if a small round door had been opened there, and then the door was closed again.

"What is this?"

Wang Ding's gaze continued to look in along the small door, and he was suddenly even more stunned, because the chest of this Buddha sculpture was actually hollowed out, and in that small space, there were two wax pills.

This thing naturally couldn't resist Wang Ding's perspective, and when he looked inside, Wang Ding found that inside the wax pill were two small paper balls kneaded together, which made Wang Ding dumbfounded, no matter how powerful he was, there was no way to tell what was written in the paper ball.

At this time, Wang Ding was in his heart. It's already very curious. To talk about the inside of this Buddha carving. Obviously, the descendants took great pains to hide it inside, and this mystery must be in the two wax pills, but this secret that is close in front of you cannot be revealed, which makes Wang Ding feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"Boss Wang, you want to buy this thing, right?"

Wang Ding watched for a long time, and Tan Guanghui finally interjected and asked.

Wang Ding can't say it now. Because of this rift, Wang Ding is also a little uncertain.

However, Wang Ding's did not answer, but Tan Guanghui also had his own ideas. In fact, Tan Guanghui was also entangled for a while, but he still decided to sell it, after all, this thing is kept at home, and it can't be eaten, and in the environment where he grew up, he was surrounded by Chinese, even his mother, and the daughter of Chinese. It's not like those Burmese people who believe in Buddhism. So I don't feel like there's anything wrong with selling this Buddha statue.

Such a big and delicate ivory carving, if it is placed in the home of the Burmese people, it will definitely be enshrined like a treasure and worshiped day and night, but in Tan Guanghui's house, it is just under the bed for decades, and when the old man was bored during his lifetime, he occasionally took it out to "think about it".

Thinking of this, Tan Guanghui said, "I said that this thing can be sold, but this thing has been in my house for many years, in our domestic language, it is an antique, right?" In terms of price, but it can't be calculated according to the price of these crafts, the price must be higher than those things, I have to tell you about this first......"

"Well, Brother Tan, there's no problem with this, but I have to take a closer look, this ivory carving seems to have traces of repair......"

Wang Ding's mind at this time was on the ivory carving ornaments, according to the habit of bargaining when buying objects, he replied casually, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, if the stall owner saw any clues, then he would lose a lot.

"Oh, you're talking about the rift, right? I had it when I was a child.,Maybe my grandfather accidentally bumped it before.,This shouldn't affect it, right? ”

After Tan Guanghui heard Wang Ding's words, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, since he decided to sell it, then he naturally wanted to sell it at a high price, if Wang Ding talked about this crack, Tan Guanghui really didn't know how to bargain, after all, he didn't know anything about antiques.

"It doesn't affect it, but the overall shape of this ivory carving ornament is very good, and it is normal to have a little flaw, and I won't bite your price because of this, and you will be strained. I'll take a look at it again, Brother Tan, you can also estimate the price first, let's talk later......" After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Ding calmed down.

Wang Ding now focused his attention on the repair surface, he found that the repair surface and the materials used in it, should be made of milky white silicone, after a long time, it is also slightly yellowed, if you don't see it with your ability, simply look at it with your eyes, it is really not easy to find. Moreover, this silicone seems to be a little different, which is exactly what is suspicious.

You must know that the latex thing was only used in the early part of the last century, and there could be no such material in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the wax pill in the ivory ornament is a unique secret letter transmission method in ancient China, as if since the Qing Dynasty, it has been changed to a secret letter sealed with fire paint.

Tan Guanghui was also pondering the price, and when he finally thought about it, he looked at Wang Ding still watching there, and asked, "Boss, do you want this thing from me?" That's not really a problem. ”

"I want to."

Wang Ding made a decision, the paper ball in the wax pill, he alone by his own eyes, can never recognize the font in it, if you want to understand, you can only take out the wax pill, then you must first make this ivory Buddha sculpture your own.

"Brother Tan, I want to buy it, I won't hide it from you, this ivory Buddha carving, it should be an old thing before the Republic of China, it can be regarded as an antique, I like this object very much, it is good at home, and then there is that crack, I don't want to say anything, in short, you make a price, if it is suitable, we will make a deal......"

Because of Tan Guanghui's attitude at the beginning, Wang Ding was afraid that he would not be willing to sell it again, in order to show his sincerity, he bluntly said that this object was an antique, but in terms of age, Wang Ding played a little trick, he only said that it was before the Republic of China, but did not say that this object may be something of the Ming Dynasty.

"This ...... I don't know very much, I also thought about it for a long time just now, little brother, if you really want it. Give it the price......"

Tan Guanghui hesitated for a while. Two fingers were stretched out.

Seeing Tan Guanghui's gesture. Wang Ding asked, "Twenty thousand dollars?" Isn't that a bit expensive, but ......?"

As he spoke, he frowned, but he pretended to look like this, saying that this thing was verified in China, if it could find out its inheritance, it would be normal to auction seven or eight million. It's just that this business is about bargaining, and Wang Ding naturally wants to lower the price.

It's just that Wang Ding didn't notice that after he said the price of 20,000 US dollars, the pupils in Tan Guanghui's eyes shrank in an instant, which is a normal reaction when people are surprised, Tan Guanghui didn't think Wang Ding had less money, but this price scared him, the meaning of his two fingers. It's only two thousand dollars.

It is important to know that ivory carvings are very common in Myanmar. Although the ivory material of this ornament is not small, in this part of Myanmar, there are some objects larger than this, which cost only one or two thousand dollars, and the per capita income in Myanmar is very low, one or two thousand dollars, enough for the expenses of a family for several years.

Tan Guanghui set up a stall here to do business, and the money he earned in a month was only a few hundred dollars, and if it was 20,000 US dollars according to what Wang Ding said, it would be a huge amount of money for Tan Guanghui. Excited, excited, but how could Tan Guanghui tell Wang Ding that he was talking about two thousand dollars. But the magic is one foot high and one foot high, but Tan Guanghui doesn't know that Wang Ding of the Dao is more accurate to Tan Guanghui's pulse.

"The king... Boss Wang, it can be cheaper, you want to ...... Otherwise, don't you see 18,000 lines? My things were handed down by my grandfather, and if he was still alive, I wouldn't have sold them......"

Tan Guanghui was so excited that he stammered a little when he spoke, he was afraid that Wang Ding would not buy it, so he took the initiative to drop two thousand dollars, and said that this was his grandfather's relic.

"Eighteen Thousand ......"

Wang Ding muttered a sentence in his mouth, then looked around the Buddha carving, nodded heavily, and said: "It is fate to meet Brother Tan, 18,000, just 18,000, but Brother Tan, can this thing be taken out of the country?" If I am confiscated by the customs again, then I will be wronged......"

Wang Ding did not know whether Myanmar banned the export of such items, and if it was really as he said, it would not be worth buying it and confiscating it.

Tan Guanghui looked at the big business negotiation, and hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, let's do it, little brother, wait a minute, I'll help you open an invoice for handicrafts......" Tan Guanghui actually didn't know whether the export of this thing was prohibited, but he knew that the things bought in Myanmar, as long as there was an invoice issued by a state-run store, it would definitely be able to take it out.

Tan Guanghui beckoned a familiar stall owner in the stall next to him and asked him to help take care of it, and then ran to the state-run store at the gate of the Shwedagon Pagoda in a hurry.

At this time, Wang Ding carefully reproduced the Buddha carving, and Bi Yue slowly came to Wang Ding's side, just now he had been bargaining with the stall owner, Bi Yue simply did not interject, but watching Wang Ding spend 18,000 dollars to buy this Buddha carving, Bi Yue was still a little puzzled.

"Wang Ding, you spent more than 100,000 yuan on this thing, is it worth it?"

Bi Yue saw Wang Ding rubbing this ivory Buddha statue up and down, and asked a little puzzled, in her opinion, most of the things sold by these tourist attractions are fake, Wang Ding took out more than 110,000 yuan at this time, maybe he was slaughtered by that Tan Guanghui.

As the saying goes: fellow villagers, a shot in the back, people who come to Myanmar for tourism, and there are the most Chinese, to say that Tan Guanghui will treat the Chinese differently, Bi Yue does not believe it, businessmen seek profit, and the slaughter is their own people.

Bi Yue's concern Wang Ding knew that he said, and because Bi Yue believed in Wang Ding, Bi Yue didn't say much when he bought it, but he always wanted to dispel the doubts in his heart at the moment.

Looking at Bi Yue looking at himself expectantly, Wang Ding said, "Value, of course it's worth it, hand-carved products have been heating up in recent years, such a large and complete ivory carving works are rare in China, and the price of ivory carving handicrafts has also risen sharply in recent years, maybe it can be doubled if you bring it back......"

Wang Ding didn't dare to say more, if he said that this thing could be worth seven or eight million if it was verified by its age, it would definitely surprise Bi Yue, Wang Ding had a feeling in his heart, such a large object, there would definitely be a record in some domestic materials.

"As long as you don't lose." Bi Yue said reassuringly, otherwise it would be wrong for him to bring Wang Ding to the Shwedagon Pagoda.

The two admired the Buddha carving together, at this time. Tan Guanghui hurriedly ran back. He also held a rectangular box made of bamboo. The size looks just right to fit the ivory Buddha statue, this is a bamboo box made of Burma, and this box costs thirty or forty dollars, which is considered to be bought by Tan Guanghui and given to Wang Ding.

Wang Ding clasped his hands, and together with Tan Guanghui, carefully put the ivory Buddha statue into the bamboo box horizontally, and then stuffed the sponge and waste newspaper around it. The bamboo box itself is elastic, so even if there is some collision, it will not damage the contents inside.

"Boss, this is the invoice, you take the ......" After packing up, Tan Guanghui pushed the box to Wang Ding, and handed over the invoice he had just issued, which was in Burmese, and Wang Ding couldn't understand it. After receiving the invoice, he handed it to Bi Yue.

Bi Yue is in the clouds all year round. With Bi Jiahao, he also came into contact with the Myanmar business, but he knew the Myanmar invoice.

Bi Yue glanced at the invoice, nodded, handed the 18,000 yuan knife that had been counted just now to Tan Guanghui, and picked up the box from the ground.

"Thank you."

"Well, thank you, see you again!"

…… Carrying this big box, there is no way to go around, fortunately, the Shwedagon Pagoda has been toured, Wang Ding and Bi Yue, and they don't want to continue to do anything here, Wang Ding carried the box, Bi Yue followed behind, and the two of them took a taxi back to the hotel after they came out.

The Myanmar Jade Public Market is scheduled to open on November 5, and most of the businessmen at home and abroad are rushing to Yangon today, Wang Ding walked into the hotel, and saw a lot of familiar faces, gambling stone circle is so big, well-known jewelry companies are those few, it is difficult to touch it.

It's just that Wang Ding didn't see Sun Qian and Wu Baipo, but Dizun Jewelry did have someone here, but he didn't know Wang Ding, so he didn't care.

Wang Ding has now also released information that he may still be alive, and there is no need for clothes to die.

Moreover, Wang Ding also got news from Gancheng in the past two days, that is, he learned that he might still be alive, and Wu Baipo and Sun Qian in Dashang #Hai Entertainment City have already fried the pot.

After an unsuccessful killing mission and leaving Macao, Sun Qian and Wu Baipo had no choice but to bless themselves with the evidence of their killing of Wang Ding not to be found.

But will it be as they hoped?

Stop-and-go, followed Bi Yue and the wool merchants from China to say hello, and when they arrived at the elevator, Wang Ding hurriedly got in. Back at the hotel, Wang Ding was a little impatient to uncover the secret of the ivory carving, but this trip was very uncomfortable, and Wang Ding went to the bathroom to take a shower first.

When Wang Ding came out, the ivory Buddha statue had already been placed on the table in the living room, and Qian Le was carefully observing.

"Wang Ding, I heard Sister Bi Yue say that you missed an ivory Buddha carving, why can't I see anything about this Buddha carving, it can be worth hundreds of thousands? Are you coaxing Sister Biyue? ”

Qian Le had been walking around this ivory carving several times just now, but the shape was just a little special, and he couldn't see that this thing that couldn't be eaten or drunk was so valuable.

"Hundreds of thousands? Hehe, Qian Le, I have to add a zero ...... later"

Wang Ding laughed proudly, as the saying goes, gold and antiques in troubled times, in times of chaos, these things are worthless, and they are too cumbersome to carry, but in today's world, it is a priceless treasure, in short, Wang Ding will not sell this thing.

"How many ...... Millions? ”

Qian Le's lips squirmed, and he looked at this Buddha sculpture in disbelief, "Just this thing, he can be worth millions, Brother Wang Ding, aren't you joking?" ”

"I'm laughing at you. Have you ever seen me laugh so seriously? ”

Qian Le is more interested, he knows how Wang Ding's money came from, if it is really as he said, just go out of this way, millions of dollars, where is the luck that ordinary people can have.

In Qian Le's heart, at this time, he was thinking about getting started quickly and helping Wang Ding's antique shop, with this kind of skill, he would not be worried for the rest of his life. "Brother Wang Ding, tell me quickly, why are there only millions?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter how much it's worth, and I didn't think about selling it, and I don't think I can get a few pieces in China...... I'm going to put it in a museum in the capital and offer it. ”

Wang Ding has already paid attention to the ivory carving at this time, he is thinking, how to open the "door" that was repaired into it, and take out the wax pill inside, of course, Wang Ding does not want to damage this Buddha carving, otherwise he will throw it on the ground and listen to the sound, and the thing will be taken out.

"Brother Wang Ding, I really don't understand this ivory Buddha carving, what's so different, can you tell me about me being an apprentice in your antique shop?"

Wang Ding smiled, "To see if a thing is an antique, from the most basic point of view, you are supposed to have a foundation, but you lack observation, take your time." ”

"Okay."

Qian Le is really in a state and stage of learning at the moment, he nodded, and followed Wang Ding's gaze to notice the ivory carving of the Buddha.

Really, just after a closer look, Qian Le also saw a little different situation.

"Brother Wang Ding, it seems that I saw a little, did you find it, this...."

Knock knock, at this time, the door rang a few times, and before Wang Ding and Qian Le could open the door, the door had already opened-
